UPPER DIR, Sept 18: Two militants were killed and one was captured in a shootout with local residents on Thursday after their attempt to hold 300 schoolchildren hostage was foiled in Nihag Darra area of upper Dir.
Police said the militants were going to Swat to join their comrades in Peuchar area when they confronted the villagers in Maskari area. The militants were asked to surrender, but they ran towards a government school.
Announcements were made from mosques asking people to take up arms against the militants. Hundreds of armed people from 10 villages took part in the action.
Two militants, identified as Mohammad Ali and Gul Mohammad, were killed. Malang Jan, an Afghan national, was handed over to police.

This is EXACTLY how terrorists need to be treated. They need to learn to fear the people that they are trying to terrorize. Forget waiting on the police to show up.
An armed populace need to fear no one...they are the ones to be feared by the evil doers in or out of the government.
